Delta Midi Lathe LA200 part specs

[Luis Reyes]

Hi,

I bought a used Delta LA200 a few months ago but I'm just getting around to using it (spent more time outdoors in the summer than I had expected. I knew the lathe didn't come with a knockout bar but i didn't realize I also need a wrench to remove the faceplate that's currently on there.

Can someone let me know what kind of wrench I need to remove the faceplate and is the knockout bar a simple 1/4 inch rod?

Thanks in advance!

The rod should be no big deal, they have it at the big box store or hardware, I would try to find stainless.steel. As for the wrench, I would use a caliper and measure the dimensions of the notch and how thick the notch is and find a wrench at the store,you may need to grind the wrench to fit in the slot,I have seen a wrench at a box store in the plumbing dept.that is for sink repair, that may fit also.
